We offer individual sessions to help people who have lost a loved one. These meetings can help you understand your feelings and learn ways to cope with your loss.

Who is this program for?

This program is for you if:

  • You are an adult (18 years old and over).
  • You are grieving the death of someone you love.
  • You are struggling with your grief.
  • You want to talk and affirm your emotions and feelings in a one-on-one setting with a professional.

What does the program offer?

  • Three private meetings with a professional.
  • A chance to tell your story and talk about your feelings.
  • Help to understand that your feelings are normal.
  • Coping skills on how to deal with your grief.
  • Answers to your questions about loss.

How can I join the program?

Contact our bereavement program coordinator. She will discuss the program with you so you can determine if the program is a good fit for you.

Important things to know:

  • The service is free.
  • You’ll have three sessions, usually 1-2 weeks apart.
  • Your sessions are private—no one else will know what you talk about.
  • People usually join in the first two years after their loss. If it has been more than two years, please contact us to determine if this group is still a good fit for you.
  • If you need help later, you can contact us to see how we can still help you.

It’s okay to ask for help. Losing someone is hard, and talking about it can make you feel better and ease the “return to normal.”
